Dang. I was hoping that @newegg would be faster…

…at processing my computer order. Turns out that ‘five to seven business days’ to process a construction order pretty much means ‘a week, if you’re lucky.’ I’m not mad, per se, but if I had known to expect the far end of the curve I might have picked a different vendor to begin with, or even bought off-the-shelf. The length of time to put the computer together was what was holding me up with going with Newegg in the first place, but I told myself after the fact that they probably padded the estimate. Ach, well.

On the bright side: if my current computer was still broken I’d be fuming right now.
